Professional misconduct

can get you suspended,

and a criminal charge.

You don't know how bad your condition is.

I did it to save you.

Can't you tell what they're up to?

That one.

That one.

And that one.

Cops.

Don't play games with me.

More are coming.

We must keep your friends entertained.

I hope they don't have dinner plans.

And you let him? People will die.

She's with us now.

Look, Doc!

Someone hacked me

and severed the tendon.

You think I can shoot with my right hand?

I don't think so.

The gun has been marked as evidence.

It's too late now.

Let me go and everyone lives.

You can't fix it

unless you know your anger comes from fear!

According to U.S.

psychologist Stanton Selzer,

the source of anger is

fear of losing control.

Why am I always smiling?

Because everything is under my control.

That's Why I'm happy.-

But your nose is bleeding.

It's not the first time.

Go stand guard outside.

His tendon was severed.

He said he couldn't shoot

with his right hand!

I don't believe him!

Don't take any risks. I'm about to retire.

I turned in the gun. I'll take the rap.

We're all in this together.

Madam, losing the perp is negligence.

But you'll go to jail for perjury.

We give in to him?

Kill him.

We're cops.

Better him than us!

Help!

Calling Inspector Chan.

Calling Inspector Chan.

I need to use the toilet.

To pee or poo?

Do you need a pan?

Hell no!

Wait a minute.

Inspector Chan,

the suspect needs to use the toilet.

Let him go.

Nurse, I want to eat.

Doctor, doctor!

I'll call you back.

Doctor, doctor!

Dr. Tong!

Get down.

Please wait outside.

Print out his ECG.

Sir, who do you want to see?

I'm a lawyer. I want to see my client.

He's not allowed to have visitors.

Use your common sense.

He has the right to see a lawyer.

Even the brass can't say no!

You do your job, I do mine.

Don't waste my time.

You're insane cutting wrists.

You don't feel pain?

How's my husband? Doctor?

Please take a look at him.

Calm down.

What happened to No. 4?

Over there.

Where's the patient?

In the toilet.

Inspector Chan,

the lawyer demands to see his client.

Don't touch me! Let me die!

- Let me die!

- Sir, calm down.

Let me die!

Let me die!

Let me die!

What are you doing?

Hold his hands.

Excuse me, sir.

It's all right.

Take a look...

"He knows that he knows."

"Who is he? He's Confucius."

"He does not know that he knows."

"Who is he? He's a Buddhist."

"He does not know that he does not know."

"Who is he? He's from China."

"Our teachers once said this."

"Our teachers once said that."

"Listen to what the youths are saying."

"Think about why they do it."

"Review the past to gain insight."

"Is this what life is about?"

"Wind, flowers, snow, and moon."

"Is this what life is about?"

"Our teachers once said this."

"Our teachers once said that."

"Listen to what the youths are saying."

"Think about what you want them to do."

"Zhi Hu Zhe Ye."

"These are old clichs."

"Our teachers once said this."

"Our teachers once said that."

"Listen to what the youths are saying."

"Think about what you want them to do."

"Close your eyes, shut your mouth,"

"cover your ears, everyone is happy."

"Everyone knows. Everyone cares."

"But we do nothing, you and me."

Doctor I can walk!

The hematoma is so big

the brain stern stopped working.

The operation is likely to fail.

Shall I do it?

I understand.

I'll try my best.

Play the music.

Listen...

He didn't shoot the officer.

- I planted the gun.

- What are you saying?

Sorry, Sir.

I knew his accomplices had plans.

We interrogated him, beat him up.

He was cocky and wouldn't budge.

I told Sun to put a gun to his head.

What are you talking about?

I'm not here to take your statement.

Sun thought I told him to shoot.

It was a mess then.

I can't remember if I said it.

They said the suspect wouldn't wake up.

I thought I was doing the right thing.

I almost killed him.

Sorry, Sir.

Leave him alone.

He'll never wake up.

They say they're taking me somewhere else.

You know... I know you like this.

Take them all.

You're welcome.

"Friends, you should all learn from me."

"Everyone should laugh like me."

"Everyone is happy. Don't worry."

"Everyone drinks, feeling rich and happy."

"Let's celebrate our youth and beauty..."
